ALL SAINTS' DAY



Lord, we celebrate the feast of your saints: your martyrs, virgins, holy men and women, from all walks of life. Many of them suffered, but they rose above their difficulties and remained faithful to you. They teach us Lord, that holiness is not limited to priests and nuns, but to all people; that we are free to choose you regardless of our station in life. Help me to aspire to holiness just as they did, for only in this will I attain true happiness.

God's Blessings



Oh Lord, what are the good things that you have not shown us? What are the blessings that we have not received from you? Do we really have anything that is not from you? Oh Lord, you have not only given us wonderful things but you have given us your Son, your most beloved Son. Thank you for the gift you have given us. And let this gift be with us. Let our joy in receiving Christ remain in our hearts, that we may glorify you more and praise you more as we do today. Amen.
